There are boots you will
There are boots you will wear for decades. They’ll always be in style and they’ll get better with age. Is the prison boot expensive? Yup. It’s it worth the price? Absolutely.

For over 20 years, now,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For over 20 years, now, Fry has been my favorite boot/shoe maker. I just wish you could help me with referrals to good cobblers, in the States! I have maybe two older pairs of boots that I can't wear , only because the soles are done.

Love’em
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After new soles, and new heels twice, my old pair finally bit the dust after about 25 years. I searched high and low for a new pair before finally going online to your site. I like a flat smooth sole, hard to find. Seems like all shoes and boots have ridges.

Prison Boot
I had wanted these for some time but was hoping they would go on sale. They never did so I bought myself an early Christmas present. These boots are expertly made and look like authentic prison boots. The quality of the item is worth the price.
